21 August 2026, Syria, Bloudan: Visitors walk through the hand-carved rock passageways inside Mousa Cave, in Bloudan. The cave, originally a 200-year-old sand mine, was transformed into a tourist attraction in 2006 after its walls were artistically sculpted, and today draws visitors with its artificial lake, boat rides and naturally cool atmosphere.
